You shut your whore mouth! That movie was the shiz when I was 6 years old. Probably one of the reasons why I'm a space nerd

i went to the barbershop after watching the movie and told them to give me the russell crowe gladiator haircut. needless to say, they fucked my hair up real good. i guess the russell crowe cut only looks good on russell crowe.

I'm surprised any of the actors in Space Camp had a career after it. I was a space nerd before I ever saw it, and therefore I wanted to puke after seeing it.

I can enjoy Armageddon because it's plot made more sense, even if they maneuvered those shuttles like fighter jets, and created artificial centrifugal gravity on the shuttles that pointed down in relation to their crew decks even though it was the side of the shuttle facing "down". I don't know how that even got through story-boarding..........drove me nuts. Now as for letting a bunch of goddamn kids on a shuttle for an engine test, and I don't think NASA ever did engine tests on the launch pad (that I know of). Just doesn't seem very likely.

Edit: *quick search* I guess they did do tests on the pad......

• 44% of adolescents bite their nails
• 19% to 29% of young adults bite their nails
• 5% of older adults bite their nails
• It is more common in young males

(Source: University of St. Francis study)
Famous nail biters include:

• Former US First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
• “Daughter of the King” — Lisa Marie Presley
• English recording artist and Genesis front-man Phil Collins
• American writer Dorothy Parker, who mocked her own nail biting habit in her writing
• British Prime Minister Gordon Brown

Yes. I found the same page when Google-ing for info about JP's nail biting problem. That seems to be the only place that mentions it.

It might also have something to do with dentures. Now that I got them, I cant bite my nails anymore. Older you get the high amount of people get dentures put in that can no longer bite their nails anymore either.
